I felt it this time, crawling up the side of my face, lingering just long enough to make my skin prickle.
My patience snapped.
"Kael, watch the damn road," I muttered, folding my arms.
A low chuckle. Deep, lazy.
"Relax, firefly. You think I can't multitask?"
I hated when he called me that. And he knew it but I was just entertainment to him. An impulsive show for his pleasure.
"I think you're being reckless," I shot back.
He hummed in amusement, shifting gears effortlessly. "Reckless?" His voice was smooth, teasing. "Funny. Was that not what you were being earlier? Throwing yourself at me like that? Though It was quite amusing I must admit."
My pulse jumped.
"I didn't throw myself at you," I hissed.
"Didn't you?" He turned his head slightly, a smirk curling at the edge of his mouth. "Then what was that little stunt back there? Making your ex jealous? Using me?"
Eric.
